ANANIAS AT LARGE.
M0nu umental Lying About Los
Angeles and Vicinity.

AngGIeS ana tICknitys
Oh. Clafin, who has been oper-
ating in land here for several months
and effected number OF very large
transactions, is Justly indignant at
the persistent and systematic attempts
made by anonymous correspondents
of Eastern papers to injure Los Ange-
les by the most bare-faced lying. He
showed us letters from reputable par
ties in Omaha who had been SO far
imposed upon by these newspaper
calumnies as to advise him to close
M all his business and return to the
West. But Mr.. Clahin is in no mood
to listen to them. He says he is SO
well pleased with the business pros
pects and the matchless climate OF
Southern California that he will make
Los Angeles his permanent home.
After having lived thirty-two years in
Chicago, where he is possessed OF
considerable property, he knows
enough of the terrible extremes OF the
weather OF the prairie States to not
wish to leave a climate like ours.
Mr.. Claflin intends to open branch
of the London Loaning House here.
That institution is very strong finan-
ciaily, and he has letters showing his
recognized connection with it. He
reports to us the consummation OF a
land sale he effected yesterday with
San Francisco parties for $l60, 900.
He says he will close the house OF ii.
Claflin & Company, in Marshalltown,
Iowa, of which he is the senior mem
ber, and open it here as branch OF
the London Loaning House.
The letter purporting to come from
this city, and which appeared in the
Chicago Tribune, of which he particu-
larly complains, is tissue Of bald
falsehoods. Its lies are so glaring that
no well-informed person could be inn
posed upon by them. 1t starts out by
saving that even the climate is a
fraud, because sit hasn't rained for
six months" The fellow who could
strike that bright idea here in the
month OF October, is prodigy, and
weuld do for exhibiting in a dime
museum as the smartest ass that ever
got out Of green pasture. He then
saws s'there is scarcely brick build
ing in the whole town" OF Los
Angeles Perhaps the fellows hat
was too we'll loaded with bricks to
zee the innumerable solid blocks that
surrounded him. Then this truthful
observer finds that Los Angeles is
principally inhabited by "Mexicans.
Spaniards and Italians, with few
Eastern people and some old Califor-
mans" The only objection to this
enumeration is the failure OF the writ
er to tell the readers of the Chicag'
Tribune that all our public men are
Chinese; that our leading bus busines' th'
newspapers are published in Choctaw
But. we confess, he has done pretty
well according to his gifts and his
lights. If he is not quite the, Chm.
borazo of liars, he is entitled 10 a.
least a Himalayan niche in the upper
gallery of the Sazerac CLUBS ne"
monument.

Margaret Knight to recover damages

Margaret Knight to recover damages
for false imprisonment. The plaintiff
alleges that in October Mrs. Knight
went before Justice Austin and swore
out complaint charging him with
embezzlement. This action on the
part of Mrs. knight, Haskell alleges
was malicious. AS result of her ac-
ton he was arrested and imprisoned
for fifteen hours and to secure his re-
lease he was forced to furnish $1,000
bail. He was examined before JUS
tice Austin and was acquitted. He
states that he was damaged in $2125,
of which $1,000 was to his business,
$1,000 to himself for loss of time, 500
costs and $25 for procuring bail. 1t is
to recover these amounts that he
brought the suit.
